WIC Nutritional Program

WIC Helps Families Grow Healthy

That’s why Adelante Healthcare works with the federally-funded Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Program, to help keep pregnant and breastfeeding women and their children under age 5 healthy.

WIC is a nutrition program that provides nutrition and health education, healthy food and other services free to Arizona families who qualify.

The program is for all types of families: married and single parents, working or not. If you are a mother, father, grandparent, foster parent or other legal guardian of a child under 5, you can apply for WIC for your child.
